Fickle mercenaries have two hands, and their unarmed attacks deal 1d6+5 damage (Muscle included).
The fickle mercenary has a Heavy Magic-Damage Void Line weapon which it can project from either of its palms: it deals 1d6+2 Void damage (Magic Power included) to every hit target in a 40 meter line extending from the fickle mercenary. The line passes through obstacles without difficulty.
Fickle mercenaries are easily bought: anyone can demand the services of a specific fickle mercenary by taking a lesser action to ask for its allegiance while within its hearing and spending 4 Sacrifice Energy. Fickle mercenaries always serve their latest master fully and completely.
When a character would project an Avatar of a member of its party, and it could choose to project an Avatar of a fickle mercenary if it had one in its party, it can choose to project any non-busy fickle mercenary. This does not confer the mercenary's allegiance.
Advancement
Pact of Egalitarianism (20 points): The fickle mercenary gains an Advanced Specialty, and can form a Pact of Egalitarianism, which grants the other creature the mercenary's Void Line weapon (which deals 1d6-1 Void damage before Magic Power is applied), but requires them to offer their services to anyone willing to pay: anyone can ask for the creature's allegiance while within its hearing as a lesser action by spending 4 Sacrifice Energy. The creature is obliged to obey for 3 rounds or until someone else buys its allegiance, whichever comes first. The penalty for Breaking the Pact is a 6 energy Personal Sacrifice.
